Ken WhiteScott Adams’ routine: feel yourself getting inadequate attention, so troll hard, and then wrap yourself in a mantle of victimhood and cry censorship when people react — is so painfully obvious and predictable of a grift that it’s appalling that people fall for it.
Joe@Popehat Soon to be selling supplements if he isn't already.
Rob HoneycuttBut, of course you know, on the planet Scott Adams the mere fact that Scott Adams has an opinion on a subject matter makes him an expert. According to Scott Adams. /sarc

Andrew@twitskeptic @Popehat well, you called it...
Jeff Fecke@twitskeptic @Popehat Well, I'm sure that nothing could go wrong with Adams trying to create some sort of food that had all the nutrition anyone could ever need.... https://www.avclub.com/in-memory-of-the-dilberito-a-stomach-ruining-dilbert-t-1842213522
Jeff@twitskeptic @Popehat ah the dirty secret that there are countless articles and doctors stating the opposite.
Everything I’ve ever heard is unless you have a diagnosed deficiency or condition like pregnancy or B12 issue like crohns or other genetic predisposition, you don’t need a multivitamin “but in moderation they won’t hurt anything but your wallet”.
@twitskeptic @Popehat Does the dilberito count?
Mr. Completely@Popehat he'll be fine on the right wing grievance circuit
Paul HébertI can't believe this wasn't intentional. He knew what would happen, and saw martyrdom as a viable career move.
@PaulInRainCity @Popehat sure. There's a whole ecosystem now. Getting "cancelled" is a ticket to suck at the Koch/Murdoch teat indefinitely
@PaulInRainCity @mrcompletely @Popehat I think it may be a mixture of his true thoughts and he doesn't really care about doing Dilbert any more.
He probably would have been more upset if his Coffee videos got de-platformed.

Rufus T. Firefly
Dr James J TeethDid Adam’s start a Go Fund Me yet?
El Presidente@Popehat standard republican reaction to accountability.
Robbie Coleman@Popehat it's the ecosystem of media we now live in. Bottom feeders.
Mike Laursen@Popehat OK, the following is pure conjecture about why he may have chosen this moment to go full racist, but why not make this conjecture to a lawyer: I just read his Wikipedia page and it says he has a condition that has been making it physically difficult to draw his strip. Could he have been just about to retire anyway, and thought WTH this is a way to get out of remaining contracts and obligations.
Eric A. Meyer
radarskiy@Popehat He needs a bigger hit of victimhood each time just to feel anything
John Refior@Popehat
I thought that was Elon Musk's routine

Hughster@Popehat I might agree with this hypothesis in some other cases but not here, purely because the direct result of this was to lose a massive amount of income from syndication of his comics. It seems more like a Graham Linehan situation, i.e. gradually backing himself further and further into extremism until extremists are the only people left who'll be his friends.
Walken@Popehat I’m looking forward to the ruling from the 5th Circuit that explains why the 1st Amendment requires that all newspapers carry Dilbert.
Todd Hensley@Popehat I think it’s more he started to actually believe the nonsense he was analyzing.
William B. Turner@Popehat. He's a good Christian. Very Trump like.
BeardlyDavid 
excuse my ignorance: He's done this before? What a boob.
sneedy maccreedy@Popehat he's just saying what the people who fall for it are thinking
Scott Newman@Popehat akin to Schrödinger’s douchebag (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=schrodinger’s%20douchebag)
Pensive™️@Popehat The guy has an indoor basketball court in his mansion. I think he’ll be ok.
SloanLA@Popehat He's just a horrible person. It is pretty simple.
SLCW💥@Popehat I think he wanted to be canceled in order to advance his transformation into a cultural mascot for the reactionary right.
kkeller@Popehat is that the new GOP platform?
a kilo of saucepans (rakslice)@Popehat hmm... on that note maybe he's planning a run for president
Norman@Popehat assume he was getting bored doing Dilbert and wanted to boost his sideline as a far right personality
Lizard@Popehat Since he is hardly alone in pulling that grift, and targeting the same suckers as everyone else, and it’s still profitable, I no longer wonder how 419-type scammers keep making money at it. Once a target audience is identified, there will always be those who can be milked, again and again.
Drew Kadel@Popehat I do kind of love the way the cartoon syndicators bought it this time.

@Popehat Adams is the millionth in line for this MAGA tango
Brian Marick@Popehat He’s 65. Why not retire with a bang?
Cosmic Tentacle 
@Popehat From what I've seen on the bird site it doesn't seem like he's crying censorship, it looks like he's really leaning into the whole thing. But of course I expect he'll try to benefit from the situation financially. That's what all these politicians and political pundits on both sends tend to do.
Jeffrey Phillips@Popehat —A victim who's also inexplicably playing 5-d chess and has all his 'victimizers' exactly where he wants them.
His post-announcement spin is wild. We're in the "3rd act" where the "audience" gets to see how the "protagonist" wriggles out of an impossible situation!
I switched channels a long time ago, bro.
costrike@Popehat I got blocked by him years ago for not falling for it.
lopta@Popehat People am dumb.
WesDym@Popehat Maybe he's hoping to shift his primary revenue to books, since comics haven't bounced back for him since his last scandal. Rubes seem to be willing to buy almost any books, and it's easy to motivate many of them through this method.
Bjørn Larssen 🇺🇦 🏳️🌈@Popehat His wiki entry starts with "American white nationalist author and cartoonist" and I'd say that is very accurate order.
I've read 'Loserthink' because I like suffering. ALL the facepalms. I hope I never become the sort of person who finds inspiration in the mirror.
Darren du Nord@Popehat Maybe he can sell pillows if the cartoon thing isn't working out.
Old Man Mike@Popehat Ah yes, the Jordan Peterson approach. Ugly mother fucker.
OG_zuul@Popehat dilbert collections, crappy calendars and merch will go to #1 on amazon in the next few days b/c the folks who he's serving this up to love to give their money to other people who irrationally hate like they do.
PaulAlanLevy@Popehat How much will Musk now pay Adams to carry Dilbert on Twitter?
Sam Gross@Popehat “I now have zero income, please support me on Patreon”
GreatApez@Popehat Sounds a lot like a recent ex-president.
skua@Popehat
I'm after #ANewCartoon . About the length of #CalvinAndHobbes
The characters realise that The Onion is more rational than some of the actions of their leaders around vital issues?
The reader cries at the end of a third of the cartoons, laughs at a third and is grateful for whatever is working in their own life for the other third?
And maybe its a bookclub meeting in person and discussing #TheDawnOfEverything , but probably not.
Human generated.
Any suggestions?
@Popehat hi Popehat, glad you are here.
@Popehat Anyone who would find his comic strips clever can’t be that bright.

I see this one a lot also.
Capitalism "let the markets decide" The market decides, Capitalism "We need government oversight to stop censorship of us"

Nicole ParsonsRacism, like Scott Adams's, shares a features with domestic violence & other abusive relationships.
One of the rules of abusive relationships is a requirement that victims stay complicitly silent & passive.
White supremacists want their targets to remain complicit in systemic racism & not speak out.
Woke is empathy. Woke is saying "No more!" Woke is learning about racism & its impacts & then speaking up.
America, it's time to ditch the abusive boyfriend.
Racism. It needs to go.
ares@Popehat fuck that guy
Dan Dickgrafe@Popehat This isn’t his first time to be “cancelled”. He’ll probably be speaking about it at CPAC this week. <sigh>
